Okay, ladies thank you for your input. It's good to know I'm on the right track. This stuff is a lot more nuanced than I ever imagined especially with the special needs aspect to it. V  

My DD is 5 and gifted as well as special needs. She has dyspraxia and spent her toddler years dealing with gross and fine motor delays. Dyspraxia also comes with executive function, learning disabilities and emotional issues as well as...

My DD is very similar. She 'masks' pretty well until she knows you and then watch out! (She threw her shoes at the PT their last session and then sobbed for an hour b/c she felt terrible about it.)   We just had our EI...

DD (3 1/2) has been labeled with developmental delay (cause unknown at this time, so no diagnosis) and is receiving both private and school system OT/PT for gross and fine motor deficits as well as SPD. She is a sensory avoider and I'm...

I'm not unsympathetic to the other child, but there's not a lot I can do for her. She sounds like she has amazing leadership qualities and is probably very bright and I am thinking her parents probably have their hands full. Hopefully...

Okay I actually ran into another mom today from pschool and it is not my DD, this other child has a reputation I guess.   The bday party was the trigger event, everything has stemmed from there. It was a nightmare. I am almost...
